'Confess Ye Sins Or Ye Be Walk'n The Plank'


A sailor comes to port, and decides he really needs to get laid. He walks into town, and sees a sign...

 

"Sisters of Mercy Convent & Brothel"

 

 He walks into what appears to be a church. There's a nun sitting by a table near the door. She intuits what it is he's looking for and says...

 

"Put $5 in this tin cup and walk through that door."

 

The sailor does so, and enters another room, and there's another nun, with a table and a cup...

 

"Ten Dollars!"

 

... she says...

 

"And go through that door."

 

 The sailor goes into a third room, where a third nun with a table and cup asks for fifteen dollars and to go through another door.

 

The sailor coughs up the dough, and walks through the door. It slams and locks behind him, and he is in an alley behind the church, facing a brick wall with a large sign...

 

 "You have just been screwed by the Sisters of Mercy!"

'Stear Clear Of The Donuts'


An Admiral was visiting one of the ships under his command!

While eating breakfast with the crew he was impressed to see the naval insignia stamped on every biscuit!

He went to the cook to ask how this feat was done, so it could be used on other ships as well!

The Stew Burner Replied…

“Well Admiral, after each one is cut out I just slap it here against my belt buckle which bears the insignia!”

Horrified, the Admiral exclaims…

“Well that’s very unhygienic!”

The cook shrugs and replies…

“Well if you feel that way sir, I suggest ye steer well clear of the donuts!”

'Chaplain's Call'


Here’s another great one from the ‘Preacher’ that happened many moons agoooo… I hope you enjoy!!!

You mates put your TL29’s and multimeters away and sit right down; Preacher has a story and this just plain ain’t no shit! We pulled into Subic but the day before, they ran us down to the messdecks in relays and one of them Protestant Chaplains showed us a VD movie!!!

Then they gave us the story about not giving our wives or girlfriends a disease or bringing shame upon ourselves… yadayadayada… you know the story! So… the word gets passed over the 1MC for ‘Liberty Call’ and I’m all tricked out in a shiny clean set of trop white longs and off I go across the bridge!! I had a fine ol’ time at one place and then another (hadn’t really found a fave yet) but in this one club I was suck’n on a barley pop and happened to glance off to my left!! Low and behold… who did I see with a honey-ko on one knee and a honey-ko on the other with a shit eat’n grin from ear to ear?!? You betcha… The same Chaplain that gave us that Pep talk earlier in the day!!!

Just then he met my gaze and I gave him a big ol’ slow wink, then turned away and headed off as if noth’n had happened!  The whole damned evening I was think’n about that instant and chuckl’n away to myself!! I knew no one would believe it so I kept my yap shut and never mentioned it!!!

Twe days later I went down to fresh’n up my mug and my squadron Chief came puff’n over at me…

“Hey Bradford… Chaplain wants to see you… on the double!”

To be honest… at the time I was afraid someone at home had answered to the ‘Last Muster’ and didn’t think of it any other way! So I hustled down to see what it was and it turned out the Chaplain who was look’n for me was the one I’d seen at the club!!

“Sit down son! I wanna talk to you!”

...Then he says…

“I’ve been hear’n great things about you… work hard, your shipmates like you… and you have good quarterlies! But do you know what your best quality is?!?”

... me puzzled…

“No Sir?!?”

“You keep your eyes open and your mouth shut! Your gonna make a swell senior PO one day!”

He gets up… gives me a big slow wink… (just as I had done to him) and slips something into my dungaree shirt pocket!

“Go on back to work, and have a good time on the beach, son!”

“Aye, Aye Sir!”

… And Off I Go…

Part way down the passageway I check my pocket and there’s a fifty!

“Hmmmm…

Okay Lads… remember what the Great Logbook says…

“By the fruits ye shall know them!”

Nice guy, that sky pilot! And I never spoke his name in a negative light!! Hey Shit Happens Right?!?

'Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death'



Just prior to pulling in for liberty the Chief was holding Quarters…

“Now I know the lotta ya want to go out on liberty… but there’s going to be a field day prior to liberty call and I’ll be inspecting spaces!” If I find any ‘Unsat’ you’ll be spending the rest of the afternoon sweep’n, swabb’n, scrubb’n, and curs’n!!”

… way back in the ranks a voice hollered…

“Give me liberty or Give me Death!”

… a pissed off Chief roars…

“Who in the hell said that!”

… to which another replies…

“Patrick Henry you dumb ass!”

‘Beware The Girl in Every Port’


I don’t have firsthand knowledge but a shipmate on Facebook sent this one…

I joined the Navy to ‘See The World’' as the ol’ saying goes back in the 90s! But after three years on shore the closest I ever got was a weekend trip in the Gulf of Mexico on a mine sweeper!!

You see I grew up in Rockford, Illinois where I’d went to school but was based down in Ingleside, Texas and had a girlfriend in both places! I was planning some Christmas leave one year, and the night before taking leave, I took my girlfriend in Ingleside on a date where we proceeded to a secluded area in my car!! Naturally, I got an early Christmas present in the back seat!!!

Two days later while back home in Rockford, I was out again with my girl back home! This time in the midst of receiving a second Christmas present… in the back seat of my car… the windows were closed and started to steam up!! It was at this point my girl back home noticed the outline of female sized feet on the back seat window and realized they weren’t hers!!!

Yep… that kind’a spoiled the moment a little and she never spoke to me again!!!!
